Why are paladins the most boring class of every game they're in?

>>376567458
why do they make classes to be balanced and able to fight every enemy?
Shouldn't paladins work better against undead/evil
hunter against beasts
warriors/swordman against humanoid
mage against elementals
thief/rogue & healer & tanker against nothing

This. Give classes an actual reason to exist.

>>376567458
Because good is dumb.

>>376567856
flawed philosophy that you should bring the player and not the class

>>376567856
Absolutely trash game design

>>376567856
because "wah wah why do they get something that I dont?? THATS OP"

Because you never bubbled and then used Gnomish death rays to cheese skull level players

>>376567458
because they're boring in general

>>376567458
I always play a holy warrior/crusader of some type, i like them

>>376568613
Thanks for reminding me, I totally forgot about it

Because paladins ARE boring, Blizzard's portrayal is 100% accurate.

>must have a shield to protect your junk from hungry knobslobbers
>must have a gay ass hammer which is a tool and not a weapon
>must wear white, can't enjoy chili dogs

warhammer 40k does holy warriors best

>>376567856
because people dont like using something bad. If one class outshines others whats the point playing anything else. The easiest way to balance things is to homogenize everything, so yeah it all comes down to devs competence

Because you've only played theme park MMO's and won't bother trying out player-driven campaigns and tabletop RPG. If you brand anything beyond theme park MMO's autism then there's your problem.

why are blizzard paladins obsessed with hammers

Jesus I keep having this sharp and occasional perineum pain that radiates out toward my anus and to mt urethra. Hurts like hell for like 10-15 minutes then usually goes away for several days.

Also I don't know

Judges use gavels
Paladins deliver justice

what's this? poor little necromancer got steamrolled by the iron clad light knight? or is it a butthurt warrior who can't wield magic, complaining about crusaders? or maybe a rogue, caught red-handed again, whining?

I just wish the game itself was better.

Isn't that pic a dwarf ability?

Does Reinhardt count as a Paladin?

>>376573974
Yes and it proves OP's point too

>>376574081
Lucio is way more boring though.

>>376574563
Sure but mister "Park at the choke and hold down M1" isn't very involving either.

>>376568786
>that point in time where prot warriors could 1 shot with shield bash in low bg brackets

Fucking hell that was funny, getting those broken crits and obliterating as a TANK class

>>376574768
M2, whatever.
It's all blizzard's fault for having shit maps like that anyway.

>tfw tabletop paladins are god-tier if the player can RP them well
>vidya paladins are boring as shit
